@fortherAch 🔥🔥

we are so back 🩵❤️ get goin’ BRAISE!!

@cyberv0y4ger Nice to meet you, Ren! I’m Alex, also a fellow space nerd. Geology is equally fascinating to me

Good morning my fellow space nerds! Thanks for 1.2k follows! There’s a lot of new faces here so I’d thought I’d introduce myself. Hi, I’m Ren! I’m a baby astrophotographer that also has a huge passion for photographing rockets! I live for the early 2000s aesthetic, love metal, and love geeking out with fellow space lovers!

Dumb

😂😂

Left - Apollo 17, 1972 Right - Artemis II, 2026 Two photographs taken by one of us, of all of us, over half a century apart. What's changed?

🚨: NASA just dropped a full disk image of Earth taken by Artemis II 🤯

@cyberv0y4ger Both are great! Both should be hung up on a wall

I don't have a super big lens for long distance shots, but here's a couple that I think turned out pretty rad!

The best is yet to come.

A reminder that humans can do incredible things when we work together with purpose.

Godspeed, Artemis II!

@Lunar_Luster Very cool!! Wish we could see it in Georgia

And tears!! 😭😭 There they go!!! I'm so happy I got to watch a part of history. 🚀🌕

@TomFulop Thanks, Tom!! A true friend!

@Planetary_Akins See you weren't alone. 😊

The sad part about the launch today… I’ll have to watch in my car, driving home from work, alone. I’ll be safe though 🤣 To the Moon WE go 🚀

@AJamesMcCarthy Can’t wait to see what you capture @AJamesMcCarthy Are you also going to try and get the transit later?

2 of my cameras I’ll be operating during launch. The countdown clock behind me reminding me it’s not long before the modern era of lunar spaceflight is here.

Absolutely l🌖ve seeing all the posts and excitement about the launch today! We are going to back to Luna!!

Artemis II Stakeout - NASA's Crewed Mission Around The Moon twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@cyberv0y4ger Dope

Forgot I had this shirt. Felt like it was only right to wear this today!

For the first time in history, a woman is venturing to the Moon. NASA astronaut Christina Koch is set to make that milestone on NASA's Artemis II mission — a daring ~10-day journey that will send four astronauts on a voyage around the Moon and farther from Earth than any woman has ever traveled before. Serving as mission specialist aboard the Orion spacecraft, Koch will help test critical life support, navigation, and communication systems as the crew travels hundreds of thousands of miles into deep space. She already holds the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman — 328 days aboard the International Space Station — and in 2019, she took part in the first all-female spacewalk. Since the Apollo era, nearly 90% of astronauts have been men. Artemis II represents not only a leap in technology, but a profound shift in who gets to explore the cosmos. “If there’s something to celebrate, it’s that we are at a time when anyone who has a dream gets to work equally hard to achieve that dream,” Koch said. “If we’re not going for all and by all, we’re not truly answering humanity’s call to explore.”

@Lunar_Luster It will come again. Inspiration shows up so randomly. You are really good, though. Keep up the doodling, may find it again

@Planetary_Akins I haven't in a long time. I doodle sometimes, but I haven't felt the urge to really do it much.

Some moons I drew a while back. Because I love the moon, if you couldn't tell. 🙃

Rocks…. On another planet! Same processes that form rocks on Earth, formed rocks on Mars
